Roz Warren, Writing Coach, Medium maven, raconteur, Amtrak secret shopper, recovering former librarian, and inveterate vertebrate laid down the gauntlet with this prompt/taunt 👇.

In it she pledges to read only one story from a given writer per day no matter how many stories that writer publishes that day. One-and-done she claims.

But, can she live up to the promise?

Won’t curiosity get the better of her, force her to break her sacred vow, drive her to distraction until she reads all the stories this writer, Michael Burg, MD (Satire Sommelier) 😬, published today? Today.

Sure, she can stretch it out and savor one story today, like part 1, which she’s likely eagerly devouring at this very moment. But then, will she be able to restrain herself and read part 2 on day 2, then part 3 on day 3, and finally in a massive release of pent up tension, save the sweet release of part 4…
